He is a prolific writer and illustrates his work with his sketches. Mudfog published his acclaimed book ‘WILD’ in 2008 and he has since had two further works published by Red Squirrel Press, ‘Iona, A Spiritual Landscape’ and recently (2015) ‘My Wild Northumbria’. He is a regular contributor to The Northumbrian magazine and various publications and is currently working on an exploration of northern lands.

Robin Moss his new collection ‘Learning How to Count on the Fingers of Two Hands.'

He has lived in the North East for over fifty years, where he worked as a full time Trade Union Officer before retirement. He is married and has two daughters and six grandchildren. He has written poetry on and off since his late teens, and more seriously since his retirement. The landscape and birdlife of Northumberland have been a rich source of images and inspiration for the poems he writes.
